ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OmniOutliner 6 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taskmator has 232 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Taskmator's written reviews are positive against 56% of OmniOutliner 6's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Taskmator ships an update weekly, OmniOutliner 6 monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
